What role does music play in your day-to-day life as a creative?:

Almost everything we create at ManvsMachine has an audio component, so we have the pleasure of collaborating with amazing musicians and sound designers to craft the perfect accompaniment for our visuals. Music is an everyday part of our studio culture too… silence is awkward.
